organization at soul cycle, downtown. for more information on the event and the mission, visit crowdrise.com/graceoutreach. wish me luck. i think i'll be sore. >> you'll be great. strap in. >> really? >> yeah. >> they yell at you. it's a lot of whooping it up. >> i don't really get it. you ride a bike but in a room and they're yelling at you. i think it's for the young people. if it's way too early, what time is it, thomas? >> "morning joe." >> but right now it's time for luke russert and "the daily rundown." >> pro-russian rebels hand over the black boxes from malaysia flight 17 as the victims bodies arrive in a safer part of the count country. republican runoff in georgia which could determine which party controls the senate. deploying up to 1,000 national guard troops to the rio

grande valley. july 22nd, 2014. this is "the daily rundown." i'm luke russert in for the great chuck todd. malaysia airlines flight 17 crashed in eastern ukraine, the train carrying victims' bodies have finally been allowed to leave rebel territory. it arrived in the ukraine on its way to amsterdam. in a bizarre ceremony late last night the self-proclaimed leader of the people's republic handed over the black boxes to officials. surrounded by men with guns, smoking a cigarette and holding a pistol. all 15 members of the u.n. security council, including russia, called for full and unrestricted access to the crash site for international investigators. the dutch has been given the lead role in investigating the crash. monday, president obama confronted vladimir putin directly on handling pro-russian

separatists. >> given its direct influence over the separatists, russia and president putin in particular has direct responsibility to compel them to cooperate with the investigation. that is the least that they can do. >> at an eu meeting in brussels, david cameron even invoked the spectra of nazi germany. >> those of us in europe need not be reminded of the consequences of turning a blind eye when big countries bully smaller countries. european markets, capital, european knowledge and technical expertise while she feels conflict in one of europe's neighbors. >> in a sign of just how tough pursuing new sanctions will be, france's president says he plans to push ahead with a $1.6 billion deal to sell helicopter carriers to russia.

russia is presenting its version of the events for the first time that a ukrainian fighter jet was in the area when the malaysia plane was shot down, which u.s. intelligence says is not true. putin warned against ultimatums and sanctions, calling for the west to push ukraine's military to stop its offensive in donetsk. jim maceda is live for us. >> reporter: putin, going into that security meeting and on the defensive also said today that russia had to beef up its military capabilities because of unnamed moves by nato. the pressure definitely is on putin. it's clearly mounting, both from the increasingly robust u.s.-led intelligence case against putin as well as the threat of sanctions. the meeting that you mentioned

in brussels of the foreign ministers, britain, france and germany decided to go together and say they were ready to ratchet up sanctions against russia. putin faces an interesting dilemma. if he doubles down in ukraine, if he defiantly ignores the international community and continues to prop up those rebels, he faces potentially damaging sanctions, even talks of an arms embargo. on the other hand, if he gives in to international pressure and cuts his ties with those rebels, he loses face, the worst thing that can happen to a russian leader. he looks weak, defeated in eyes of russians throughout the region, especially here in crimea and at home with his own base he could quickly lose support. one analyst in mots cow says the kremlin has been reduced to choosing between bad and worse. typically, putin seems to be looking for a middle way out. pushing for a cease fire suddenly, perhaps to create some

breathing room. he is accommodating the west, that yes vote yesterday at the unsc was the first time i can remember putin publicly urging the rebels to cooperate with the international community. but, luke, the weapons are still moving towards the rebels, not away from them. back to you. >> bad or worse is not a positive choice for putin. interesting to see what he does. jim maceda, thank you very much. >> for the latest of what's happening at the crash site of mh-17, joining us by phone, keir simmons. obviously, positive developments for the victims' families of this horrific accident. the bodies now are being transported to a safer area. are international investigators being given access to that crash site? >> yes. we're told the bodies are taken to a safe place and from there

they'll go on to the netherlands where the grim process of identifying the bodies can actually begin, which is what relatives are waiting for. then they will be able to be reunited with their lost loved ones. at the crash site, as you say, the investigators have just a full five days after the crash and they have looked -- we've watched them look at various pieces of wreckage, taking photographs, taking their time to piece through this large expanse of debris. they appear to be malaysian investigators. luke, nbc news has learned pretty extraordinary details of the negotiations that got them to this place, the malaysian prime minister speaking directly on the phone, we're told, to the rebel leader here. he spoke with him yesterday. negotiations were intense because of the announcement of the prime minister was put off. that announcement that a deal

had been done was phoned through to the state department at around the time that president obama was making his speech yesterday. his speech was made while the malaysians were trying to get a message through saying they had done this deal. we're not clear whether or not washington was told about the investigations that were going on. malaysians feel they've used diplomacy to get a deal done, which is what their public has been asking for. >> keir simmons, nbc news, thank you for your great reporting. stay safe. somewhat well versed in these types of global affairs, steve, vladimir putin in an interesting position. you heard our own jim maceda say he faces two choices, bad or worse. he is trying to figure out this middle way out. what is the middle way out if the west ratchets up sanctions? he does not want to appear weak to his people.

>> he is trying to be the ronald reagan in moscow, popular for restoring russian pride and consequence on the global stage. he is willing to pay a high price for that. these sanctions are going to get them. sanctions are going to put pressure on his cronies and he will eventually crumble. we're seeing what we used to see in the cold war, a lot of projecting and not understanding that he has a strategic plan behind what he is doing. when you look at a long list of confrontations we've had with russia over the last several years, he is continuing down that road. one of the other characteristics is -- president obama has been saying this. he says one thing and does another and he is quite comfortable with that gap. where the real putin is, is sometimes very complicated. he could very well exceed to this and even distance himself from the rebels temporarily. that doesn't mean ukraine will ever be out of the vice that

it's in. europeans have more patience for this than he do. >> you've seen these types of things spark up. altercation between georgia, russia. and the western world looks the other way. they're starting to pay attention, especially after this incident. you hear president obama invoke nato all the time. if you look at nato, over the last decade, nato has gotten soft, a lot of european militaries have come back and said the u.s. would bail us out if anything horrific happened. it doesn't seem to carry the weight that it did ten years ago. >> nato would probably say it hasn't gone soft. i interviewed richard haass a few weeks ago. he wrote a paper at the time on why russia needed to track into nato. it's one thing to deal with russia when tess a basket case and expand, nato around russia's border.

when russia is back, feeling strong, rich again, it's going to return to muscle memory. it's going to go back and try to reassert border protection, buffer around its state, which is exactly what's happened. haas called it right. nobody is talking about that. it's the dimension of nato now. a very obstinate russia. misdraw fighters or carriers said had we had those in georgia, we would have wrapped it up in days rather than weeks. >> it's interesting, after bringing him in the g-7 and whatnot, it has not worked out. keep your friends close and your enemies closer, i suppose. thank you very much. appreciate it. hoping to take on the job nobody wants. details on his big day and $30 billion va reform bill. live on the hill. polls close at 7:00 pm in

the senate veterans affairs committee is holding a confirmation hearing today to vet the man tasked with cleaning up the v.a. he graduated in the top ten of his class at west point and then went on to be ceo of procter & gamble. the pressure is on. vice president biden called for congress to confirm him as secretary as soon as possible. >> it's time to get it done now.

stop fooling around. get it done now. >> joining me now, montana democratic senator john tester, member of the veterans affairs committee. thank you for joining us. this job is a monumental, herculean task. we often put a lot of attention to the fact of the horrific waitlist that accounted for deaths of 40 or so veterans and there's huge cost overruns that the v.a. is working on, a bureaucracy that seems to call out whistleblowers and go after them with vengeance. what can mr. mcdonald do? what does he need to do to root out the systemic problems of this organization, should he be confirmed? >> he needs to provide common sense leadership that i think goes all the way from the top to the bottom in the v.a. look, the v.a. has its problems with access. if bob mcdonald, once he gets

confirmed as secretary of the v.a. focuses on access issues and getting those veterans through the door and doing that as efficiently as possible, he will solve one of the major problems in the v.a. you've got your problems. ultimately, in the end, i think if bob mcdonald focuses on the access issue, both urban america and in my case rural america, i think we can make the v.a. better than it is today and live up to the promises we made our veterans. >> access issue is the biggest thing and biggest hurdle we need to overcome. are you confident he will be confirmed eventually? >> i think he will, and will be confirmed next week. we will get him out of committee in short order. there's recognition by both sides of the aisle in the senate that this man needs to be confirmed as soon as possible to provide the kind of leadership that the v.a. needs.

>> and one thing that has been talked about in congress, there have been these systemic issues with the v.a. going on for years. they've not received the adequate oversight. do you think now that for the next two years, throughout mr. mcdonald's tenure is presumed head of this organization, will congress keep up the vigilant oversight they've come to in the last eight to nine months over the v.a.? >> i think, yeah, i absolutely do think that the oversight from congress will be there. but i think the issue that we have to deal with right now, luke, is getting the bill out of conference committee that allows some extra funds for the v.a. to utilize. i can tell you, part of the alcohol's problem in montana is that there's not enough docs, not enough nurses. facilities need upgraded. when i hear folks say, you know what? we've got to offset it by cutting this program or that program, i get it.

i understand you have to be physically prudent. when we send these men and women off to war, very seldom do i hear people talk about the cost of it. treating our veteran sincere the cost of war. >> that would face an interesting future in the house should you get it out of the senate. president obama and the administration is in hot water over a report that they were slow to act on the border crisis. you've been, obviously, someone who has commented on immigration, a fair amount of your time in the senate. what do you make of the president and white house claiming they deemed it originally a local problem and were caught offguard? >> hindsight is 20/20. we've got a problem, 60,000 young people at the border. the administration needs to step up and give them the resources they need to solve this problem. playing politics with it doesn't solve the problem. it's one of the problems that congress has had, jumping from crisis to crisis instead of dealing with the policies that

we need and immigration reform is one of them, to solve problems. >> senator jon tester of montana, thank you so much for joining us. take care. >> thank you, luke. no cease fire in sight. that's the only thing israel and hamas seem to agree on. new details after the break. tdr 50 trivia question, whose the only u.s. representative from oklahoma to serve as speaker of the house? everyone how happy i am. really? because esurance saved me money in half that time. can i...? oh you can be in it! no need to photo-bomb me. hashbrown. selfie. yeah... that's not how it works. 15 minutes for a quote isn't how it works anymore. start with a quote from esurance and you could save money on car insurance in half the time. welcome to the modern world. esurance. backed by allstate. click or call.

targets, homes, mosques and even a sports complex. palestinian health ministry says 606 palestinians have been killed and 29 israelis have also died in the fighting. israel says one of its soldiers is now missing following a battle in gaza over the weekend. it's unclear if he is dead or alive. secretary kerry is in cairo where he met with the u.n. secretary general. and is set to meet with egyptians to talk about a cease fire. >> how we can build on it and hopefully find not only a way to a cease fire but a way to deal with the underlying issues. >> but kerry is not scheduled to meet with anyone from israel or hamas, raising questions about how much can be accomplished. in an interview with nbc's nightly news, israeli's prime minister benjamin netanyahu

seemed fully aware of how it's playing internationally and that israel is doing what it can to limit the damage. >> if we use the massive fire power that we have, we could have had it over a long time ago. hamas is betting on our moral restraint. >> nbc's martin fletcher is live for us in tel aviv. martin, this is obviously the fourth israeli invasion over the last eight years. they've reached an interesting point where it seems that the public attention sk played -- however the more they go into gaza and the more tunnels they find underground. what is the mood in israel like? is there still public support for this type of movement into gaza? >> reporter: i think, if anything, luke, support is steady and almost going to say it's growing. there's a sense here that despite the israeli soldiers who

have died, it's clear that hamas is a strong, tough opponent that needs to be brought to its knees now. if anything, there's this huge support for the gatherings of the funerals of the soldiers and very sad occasions but there's also a sense of it's now or never. and prime minister netanyahu has reflected that on the people. the effect the invasion of gaza is having on israel's economy is considerable. the tourism season, which is big business here, is being killed. airlines are complaining. at the same time there's a sense that with those tunnels that are being discovered that are so significant a threat -- you know, one of those tunnels that the israelis discovered are dug from inside gaza and come out inside israel, one of them -- unof the tunnels came out inside israel on steps of a dining r m

room. we're hearing digging, scratching under the ground. so this is a very real, widespread threat. israel says they'll have to continue until they have ended the tunnel threat and the rocket launchers and it's going to take time. >> martin fletcher from tell v aviv. thank you. nbc's foreign correspondent, ayman mohyeldin, is live in gaza city with more. ayman, obviously, the fighting has intensified, more palestinian civilians are being killed. that's displayed publicly very much through social media. i was struck by a quote from one of hamas' former prime ministers who said we would not stop, gaza will be the graveyard of empires. is that patriotic fervor that's playing out in israel now being heard in gaza? we've been so involved with this that we want to keep the fight

going? >> reporter: it is. and you have to put it in the context of what that statement meant. that was in reference to the palestinian people here who have been living under siege for the past seven years, since israel imposed that blockade on the territory in 2007. they say they will not go back to the status quo. why that is so important is because over the past several years they've been in this position in the past. there have been cease fires. there have been wars that have been fought here in gaza. at the end of every one of those fires, lifting of the siege on gaza. put on the lives of people here. that simply has not materialized. people are living here now several years under the blockade, unable to alcohol's the outside world, unable to import or export and not live with any kind of dignity. the comments made by the leaders of hamas here and being reinforced, simply they will not go back and will keep going in

the world has decided to lift -- to allow the people of gaza to live with dignity, freedom and basic rights. the fight that they are now engaged in. there's a little bit of a rift in terms of the cease fire. that's why it's not coming yet, why hamas rejected the initiative last week. it didn't call for a lifting of the siege permanently. luke? >> ayman mohyeldin, thank you so much for the great reporting. take care. like it or not, a border plan has emerged. why governor's rick perry's plan is getti inting ...and a choice. take 4 advil in a day which is 2 aleve... ...for all day relief.

immigrants crossing the border. >> i will not stand idly by while our citizens are under assault and little children from central america are detained in squalor. we are too good a country for that to occur. >> perry is sending 1,000 troops to the border immediately. the troops can't make arrests but their presence is meant to deter crime. the deployment will cost state taxpayers $12 million per month. earlier on "morning joe," nancy pelosi said congress should pass the emergency funding plan as a longer term solution. >> we have to do this in a way that honors our values, but also protects our border and does so in a way that the american people understand more clearly. >> joining me now, the host of

msnbc's 10:00 hour, outside the convention center, the nation's largest latino advocacy group sunday way. jose, thank you so much for being on the show. how is this playing out, governor rick perry trying to move national guard troops to the border? >> i think politically for the governor, for his voting bloc, it's probably a very popular thing to do. and the folks that i'm talking to here, for example, to answer your answer concretely -- your question concretely, are thinking that's not the best way to focus on what is a humanitarian crisis. it's like throwing a pebble into an ocean as far as the national policy on this issue. the fact is that these kids continue to cross the border less this month than last month and handing themselves in to officials. it's not a problem of finding these kids. they're looking for officials to

hand themselves in. what we're seeing now, i think, is really nobody being able to get together and agree on what to do about this crisis. >> and that is reflective of what we see in congress. congress, the clock is ticking. time is running out. not seen anywhere close to making some type of deal. i want to go back to this thing with perry, though. do you think when he said that this is really being done to deter crime, is that the reason or is this a show of force to try to appease constituents? one-third of those crossing illegally, he claims, have criminal records now. >> honestly, i don't know how many 6, 7 or 10-year-olds have criminal records. i don't know. i haven't been able to talk to the kids. they don't give a lot of access to people like myself and other journalists to talk to these kids. i will tell you that the criminal organizations that are bringing these kids in are looking at what is being talked

about and done in the united states of america. this transportation of children from central america through mexico to the united states is done by international criminal syndicates and that is something that we have to deal with, i think, as part of the broader policy discussion. >> and we'll see. you can see more of jose's reporting from los angeles. thank you so much for being on this show, he will interview representative laura sanchez and much more at 10:00 am eastern after tdr. let's go to texas lieutenant governor david dewhurst, live in houston. you tweeted last night it's not only our right but our responsibility to act independently of the federal government in the absence of sufficient action by washington. what specifically would you like to see come out of washington? how republicans are saying no to president obama's $3.7 billion plan that included more funds for border security. what would you like specifically to see from your colleagues in

the house gop? >> the federal government needs to fund a program to increase the number of border patrol on the border, southern and the northern. and secure or border. our border has been porous. now, your reporting a moment ago, this is not -- our effort in texas is not focused on the unaccompanied children. that's a humanitarian problem which can be solved this afternoon by congress getting off their duff and passing the cornyn bill or the administration saying enough. we are against amnesty. we are focused on -- the uncompanied children represent the 12%. we're focused on the 80, 85%, which, according to the border patrol, have a criminal record. since 2008 we've had 642,000 crimes in texas committed by illegal aliens, 3,500 are

murders. when is enough enough? i have passed $800 million of tax -- well, of appropriations using texas tax dollars, all right? >> all right. >> using our revenue. we have put in place the assets and we are running a surge right now. but we need more eyes, more boots on the ground. that's why we activated the national guard yesterday. >> more federal resources to the border, part of the 2013 immigration bill was billions upon billions, i believe around $20 billion of border security. bob corker said it was overkill. in retrospect, would it have been a good idea to pass that bill? >> luke, the numbers -- we need to double or triple the size of the border patrol. they are fine, they're good people. but they're undermanned, outgunned. we need more people on the border. that's what we're doing. we just spent our own tax

dollars, $800 million. we spent an additional $12, $13 million each month on a surge. we've got 1,000 state police rotating through the border. we're doing everything we can with our state resources. we just activated yesterday 1,000 national guard to be eyes and ears, notify the border patrol and our state police. >> so far -- but so far the legislation, the closest it's come to doing that the senate bill last summer. if you and rick perry said, hey, guys, we need this, these funds, please get on board, it would do a lot to ease the consternation. in retrospect, was it a bad idea to let that bill die in the house? >> luke, i have spent years and years and years. i've been lieutenant governor of

texas f texas. republican and democrat into doubling or tripling the size of the border patrol to protect not just texans but everyone in the country. and no action -- that's why seven years ago we started putting texas tax dollars into doing the job the federal government has failed miserably in doing. we activated at our expense in texas 1,000 members of the texas national guard so we could do the very best job we can to shut down the border against the people coming across that caused all those crimes. this is about law enforcement. right now the border patrol is totally absorbed with the 50,000 unaccompanied children which have come across. we want to make sure -- again, that's humanitarian. pulls at my heartstrings and yours. we solve that today by congress acting or the administration saying no amnesty. we have this problem of over 1,000 illegals coming across our border every day and we need to

protect texas. >> it doesn't seem congress will protect this year and the border surge you started on june 23rd will continue. david dewhurst, thank you for joining us. >> you bet. tipping the balance of power in the chamber. jack kingston is live after the break. state infamous for tornadoes have a new problem on hand, sudden surge of earthquakes. some pointing fingers to the oil industry. first soup of the day, in ozzie's diner in norman, they're serving up beef stew.

the nominee. my opponent and i have said that repeatedly, that we will get together immediately because this is bigger than us, bigger than the state of georgia. it's about the united states of america and putting harry reid back into minority status so we can turn this country around. >> your opponent is attacking you for supporting amnesty because of your support of the chamber of commerce. i know you do not support amnesty. after eric cantore's loss, is that problematic for republican runoff voters? >> i think it is. i think that's why david perdue is coming up with this ridiculous charge, reading polling, knows that he is losing ground because he sat on a board that said the senate amnesty plan was a step in the right direction. we hit him for that. now he has come up with this, which is ridiculous. i'm strong on securing the border. no amnesty, no welfare for

illegal aliens and crack down on employers who knowingly hire. not only do you know that, but the constituents know that and david perdue knows that. when you're behind in the polls and it's the last hours of the campaign, you come up with anything you can to try to gain some ground. >> you said in an interview with the atlanta journal constitution there was a possibility that the house would consider impeaching president obama. you've not necessarily given the position whether or not you support that. do you support that? is that something you want to be involved in as you run for senate going into the fall? >> the best way to shut down the obama agenda is to take over the united states senate in november, which is what i'm focused on. john boehner is bringing this lawsuit. and i think that that's a step in the right direction, because it will have ramifications for future congresses. and that's what we want to make sure, that the balance of power is restored so that the executive branch isn't constantly doing these ends

around. >> congressman from georgia, jack kingston in the runoff tonight. good luck to you, sir. take care. >> thanks, luke. trivia time. carl albert is the only person from oklahoma to serve as speaker of the house from 1971 to 1977. congratulations to today's winner, edward z. perkins. a lifetime of retirement income. so i can focus on what matters most.

oklahoma a state that had more earthquakes this year than any state in the country. including california. two nor in the past 24 hours. there's a reason why you might not connect oklahoma and earthquakes. it's a relatively new phenomena between 1978 and 2008. the state average two a year with a magnitude of 3 or high. the number started to spike five years ago.

this year it's a new record of 109. oklahoma blew by the record in 14 weeks. three months later we're close to doubling it. oklahoma ha has 14 earthquakes in the last seven days. california has twelve. the state faces an elevated risk of an earthquake over 5.0. a warning never issued to any state east of the rockies. why is this happening? well, whether you know it or not, there is a fault line running through the sweouthwestn portion of the state. according to the state agree logical survey, the last slip on the fault was 1300 years ago. what is the big change in the last five years? one thing is scientists point to the number of fracking wells in the state. they using a drilling technique that pumps water into shale rock formations in order to break up the rock that releases oil and natural gas. it became in home more than a decade ago the number of wells soared in 2009.

they found that, quote, recent earthquake rate changes do not seem to be viewed to typical random flex situations the analysises suggest the likely contributing factor is triggered by waste water injected into deep geologic formations. joining me now is russell gold. the premier professional about fracking. he's the author of "boom." i recommend reading that. the stats do not lie. over a 15 month period from 2010 to 2012, there were 850 earthquakes in oklahoma. compared to just six in the entire period of 2000 to 2008. this is directly related to the waste water derived from fracking, is it not? >> there's no question. there's been a number of scientific papers in oklahoma and elsewhere that connect waste water injection wells with increased earthquakes.

i think the jury is in is in on this one. >> other states had a lot of fracking. you see the dakotas, you see it in pennsylvania. why is oklahoma more prone to the types of earthquakes than the other states, do you think? >> well, it just has to do with a kind of faulting you have. and exactly how much waste water is being injected. there was a recent paper in science magazine that pointed out that these -- a lot of earthquakes, there's about 20% of the earthquakes in the beginning of this year, or recently in oklahoma were related to four wells. there was an enormous amount of water. these were not regular size injection wells. they're putting an enormous amount of water. they're lubricating existing faults. these are faults that sometime over the next 1,000 to 2,000 years would produce earthquakes. what we're doing by injecting the waste water is lubricating them and speeding up mother nature. >> speeding up the process. when i was in oklahoma people

said we know how to handle tornados. we don't necessarily now how to handle earthquakes. is there a possibility it could get worst in oklahoma? >> the usgs pointed out we have seen at least one large earthquake a 5.7 that was believed to have been triggered by 5.0 earthquake caused by -- or contributed to by all this injection. yeah, there is a possibility, and one of the bigger fears of the oil and gas industry in oklahoma and elsewhere is that you're going to see a big earthquake in oklahoma, perhaps in texas related to this where someone is injured or, god forbid, dies or there's major property damage. >> the infrastructure is not built to support that type of natural disaster. what can the federal government to do? does it not scream out the need for uniform registrationlatiula? >> that's a great question. they are regulated by the epa

and sometimes the state will take over. when the injection wells are permanent. they do not look at the issue f of -- seismologist said we have to ask the question before we permit the injection wells. are there active faults and will it contribute to earthquakes? that's your question. regulate, ask the question, and don't permit new injection wells where there's active faulting. >> something to keep an eye on. and scary for oklahomaans. we appreciate it. that's it for the edition of "daily run down." jose diaz-balart live in los angeles. don't miss that. i'm meteorologist bill karins. on this tuesday the heat is on in the the middle of the country. the humidity is up. a dangerous heat index up to 110
